Depends on the ambient temperature whether that's a problem. Would be a problem here now, but it is 35C/95F in Phoenix, so it shouldn't be a problem for them unless it is for an extended period of time. We used to have birds that left eggs uncovered in the afternoon heat quite regularly when the weather was very warm and no harm ever came of it.

Good to know. I have been noticing the occasional escaping egg too. Usually, it is not too long before the egg is tucked back under.
An egg check shortly before daylight this morning. The eggs were covered again almost immediately, but one escaped.
All eggs covered; much later in the day, another escapee.

My concern is usually one of the eggs squirts out from underneath the parent when they are settling down and is not being kept warm enough. Hopefully all is well.

Two eggs as of yesterday. Both parents are taking turns on the eggs. Nest is on the 10th or 11th floor of the building.
